I WROTE ANOTHA MOOOVIE!
Been sitting on this one for a minute but so deeply thrilled to share that my “1990s time travel Nashville Christmas country music movie musical adventure”, A GRAND OLE OPRY CHRISTMAS will be airing this November 29th on Hallmark Channel.
In 2018, I went to see the masterpiece A Star is Born and asked myself two questions. 1. Is Bradley Cooper single? 2. How can I make THAT?
Only a few short days later I had absolutely no way of contacting Bradley but HAD cooked up a concept with a father/daughter story at its heart and music all around.
Cut to 2024, when, after MANY pitch rejections, Hallmark took a chance. When months later I learned THE Grand Ole Opry was coming on board, I no longer cared if Bradley Cooper was single. After hundreds of hours of research, dozens of interviews, days of endless country playlists and hard earned writing…my REAL star was born.
Then, to top it all off, sweet baby Jesus got even extra when he made sure my favorite
@hogcity was cast as one of the LEADS.
Grateful for all those who helped make this happen especially Don Cusic
@belmontu for his incredible insight and
@kpbarry32 for letting me pick his brain and hound his old Nashville crew for 90s country memories.
Can’t wait to see
@hogcity @polahaha @nikdeloach @bradpaisley @official.james.denton @labenward @sharonelawrence raise some dust on the Hallmark screen.
P.S. Peep the slide of baby Rob and baby me singing our hearts out on
@mistressesabc and the last slide of Cowgirl Hilty. If she only knew then what I know now. 🙏🏻❤️
Now go listen to some DAMN COUNTRY MUSIC Y’ALL!
